Tap. Tip-tap. Tap. Tip-tap. Tap. Tip-tap.
Went that sound of leather loafers in tandem with the silvery, iron ferrule of a cane. It could be heard walking up to the coffin-like door of the aptly named Coffin House situated within the bowels of Knockturn Alley. The left hand which was perched atop the crow-shaped handle, and the index and middle finger which crept down the side of it sported two long, fake nails; said nails ever-flowing through a variety of different patterns but remaining the three same shades. Black, white, with occasional pops of red. This was to match the same color palette as the three-piece suit of the man who was about to walk into the shop. Speaking of, the suit itself was mostly black, but with white pinstripes. The touch of red being added by the pocket handkerchief. Even though the formal attire might have been slightly off from the relatively grungy nature of the alley the man was in, it was still to be said that there was a certain je ne sais quoi about this kind of juxtapositioning. That and the man could never forgo his sense of style.
But finally, opening the casket door, and stepping into the place of necromancy was none other than a relatively new dark wizard to the scene, Jaxon Burton. It was finally about time that he got started with some relatively long-term plans. He required a particular book to learn a thing or two about some things which related to death. So what better place to look than here? Although Jax was still highly unsure whether they would actually have the book he was looking for. Didn't hurt to give it a try. Plus, that didn't rule out the possibility of the shopkeeper or the ghost who supposedly haunted this place having information on it. That in and of itself would be as good of a place to start as it would be if they had it. His amber eyes would methodically scan the place upon taking a few steps inwards, feigning a sense of being somewhat lost and in need of help in hopes of drawing the attention of the aforementioned ghost.
